Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 2 9 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller 2 INSTALLATION AND WIRING: 1207 MOUNTING The 1207 controller can be oriented in any position, but the location should be carefully chosen to keep the controller as clean and dry as possible. If a clean mounting location cannot be found, a cover must be used to shield the controller from water and contaminants. To ensure full rated output power, the controller should be fastened to a clean, flat metal surface with three screws. The case outline and mounting hole dimensions are shown in Figure 2. The controller should be mounted with sufficient clearance to allow the sliding cover to be opened, providing access to Fig. 2 Mounting dimensions, Curtis PMC 1207 controller. 165 (6.50) 127 (5.00) 22 (0.85) 28 (1.10) 122 (4.80) CL 66 (2.60) SLIDING COVER 6.6 (0.26) dia., 3 plcs 152 (6.00) 6.5 (0.25) 21 × 16 × 1.5 (0.83 × 0.63 × 0.06); 8.4 (0.33) dia. hole thru 60 (2.35) 4.8 (0.19) Dimensions in millimeters and (inches) Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 10 3 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller the user-adjustable potentiometers.

Curtis PMC controllers are designed for use in a wide range of applications, and accordingly can be installed in a variety of ways to best meet customer needs. NOTE: The emergency reverse check feature (wiring shown by dashed line) is a factory option. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 6 13 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller Power Wiring for Series Motor In every wiring configuration, it is imperative that the field be wired between the controller’s B+ and A2 terminals and that the armature be wired between the Mand A2 terminals. The internal plug diode used in the 1207 is connected between M- and A2 . Therefore, the armature and field positions cannot be interchanged. Reversing contactors can be used to switch either the armature or the field. Control Wiring for Series Motor Wiring for the input switches and contactors is shown in Figure 3 (see detail below). The main contactor, if one is used, is normally connected directly to the controller. Optionally, the main contactor can be switched directly by the keyswitch or brake, leaving Pin 4 unconnected. 16-pin detail (see Fig. 3): MULTI MODE KEYSWITCH EMERGENCY REVERSE BRAKE EMERGENCY REVERSE CHECK OUTPUT FORWARD REVERSE 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 POT LOW 2-WIRE POT (5 kΩ) FORWARD CONTACTOR MAIN CONTACTOR REVERSE CONTACTOR The throttle shown in Figure 3 is a 5kΩ–0 type.

NOTE: The emergency reverse check feature (wiring shown by dashed line) is a factory option. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 8 15 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller Power Wiring for Compound Motor The field must be wired between B+ and A2 and the armature between M- and A2 . The internal plug diode in the 1207 is connected between M- and A2 ; therefore, the armature and field positions cannot be interchanged. If the shunt is rated for under 2 amperes, it can be connected directly to the controller as shown in Figure 4. If the shunt is rated for higher than 2 amperes, a contactor must be used to control the shunt field. Control Wiring for Compound Motor Control wiring for the compound motor application is like that for the standard (series motor) wiring. The main contactor, if one is used, is normally connected directly to the controller. Optionally, the main contactor can be switched directly by the keyswitch or brake, leaving pig Pin 4 unconnected. 16-pin detail (see Fig. 4): MULTI MODE KEYSWITCH EMERGENCY REVERSE BRAKE EMERGENCY REVERSE CHECK OUTPUT FORWARD REVERSE 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 POT LOW 2-WIRE POT (5 kΩ) FORWARD CONTACTOR MAIN CONTACTOR SHUNT REVERSE CONTACTOR The throttle shown in Figure 4 is a 5kΩ–0 type. Various other throttles can also be accommodated, and are discussed in the throttle wiring section. Polarity protection diodes and control fuses must be sized appropriately to handle the increased current from the shunt field. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 16 9 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller WIRING: Throttle Wiring for various throttles is described below. They are characterized as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 throttles in the programming menu of the handheld programmer. NOTE: In the text, throttles are identified by their nominal range and not by their actual active range. If the throttle you are planning to use is not covered, please contact the Curtis office nearest you. 5kΩ–0 Throttle (“Type 1”) The 5kΩ–0 throttle (called a “Type 1” throttle in the programming menu of the handheld programmer) is a 2-wire resistive throttle that connects between the 5kΩ–0/0–5kΩ pin (Pin 8) and the Pot Low pin (Pin 7), as shown in Figure 5. It doesn’t matter which wire goes on which pin. Zero speed corresponds to 5kΩ measured between the two pins and full speed corresponds to 0Ω. Fig. 5 Wiring for 5kΩ–0 5kΩ POT throttle (“Type 1”). 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 FASTER PIN KEY (1207) Pin 8 Pin 7 5kΩ–0 Pot Low In addition to accommodating the basic 5kΩ–0 throttle, the Type 1 throttle is the easiest with which to implement a wigwag-style throttle. Using a 20kΩ potentiometer wired as shown in Figure 6, the pot wiper can be set such that the controller has 5kΩ between Pins 7 and 8 when the throttle is in the neutral position (i.e., at the center of the pot). The throttle mechanism can then be designed such that rotating it either forward or back decreases the resistance between Pins 7 and 8, which increases the controller output. The throttle Fig. 6 Wiring for 20kΩ potentiometer used as a wigwag-style throttle (“Type 1”). 20 kΩ POT FASTER FASTER 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 PIN KEY (1207) Pin 8 Pin 7 Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 5kΩ–0 Pot Low 10 17 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller mechanism must provide signals to the controller’s forward and reverse inputs independent of the throttle pot resistance. The controller will not sense direction from the pot resistance. Broken wire protection for Type 1 throttles is provided by the controller sensing the current flow from the 5kΩ–0 input through the pot and into the Pot Low pin. If the Pot Low input current falls below 0.1 mA, a throttle fault is generated and the controller is disabled. NOTE: The Pot Low pin (Pin 7) must not be tied to ground. 0–5V, 0–10V, 3-Wire Potentiometer, and Electronic Throttles (“Type 2”) With these throttles (“Type 2” in the programming menu), the controller looks for a voltage signal at either the pot wiper/0–5V input of the controller (Pin 6) or the 0–10V input (Pin 9). Zero speed corresponds to 0V and full speed corresponds to either 5V or 10V, measured relative to B-. Pot Low is the current return path for all Type 2 throttles. A voltage source, 3-wire pot, or electronic throttle can be used with this throttle type. The wiring for each is slightly different and each has varying levels of throttle fault detection associated with it. 0–5V Throttle Two ways of wiring the 0–5V throttle are shown in Figure 7. Broken wire protection is provided by the controller looking for a minimum current into the Fig. 7 Wiring for 0–5V throttle (“Type 2”).

If the Pot Low input current falls below 0.1 mA, a throttle fault is generated and controller shuts down. If a throttle sensor is used, the sensor’s ground return current must be less than 10 mA. If the 0–5V throttle input (Pin 7) exceeds 8 volts, controller output will shut down. NOTE: In Figure 7(b), the throttle’s voltage input signal is in reference to Pot Low. 0–10V Throttle Two ways of wiring the 0–10V throttle are shown in Figure 8. Broken wire protection is provided by the controller looking for a minimum current into the Pot Low pin. If the Pot Low input current falls below 0.1 mA, a throttle fault is generated and the controller shuts down. If a throttle sensor is used, the sensor’s ground return current must be less than 10 mA. If the 0–10V throttle input (Pin 9) exceeds 16 volts, the controller will shut down. NOTE: In Figure 8(b), the throttle’s voltage input signal is in reference to Pot Low.

It is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer to provide any additional throttle fault detection necessary for the application. The ET-XXX can be integrated into a control head to provide wigwag-style throttle control. Alternatively, a complete control head assembly is available from Curtis. This control head assembly—the CH series—combines the ET-XXX throttle with a variety of standard control head switch functions for use in walkie and lift truck applications. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 14 21 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller 0–5kΩ Throttle (“Type 3”) The 0–5kΩ throttle (“Type 3” in the programming menu) is a 2-wire resistive throttle that connects between the 5kΩ–0/0–5kΩ pin (Pin 8) and the Pot Low pin (Pin 7), as shown in Figure 11. It doesn’t matter which wire goes on which pin. For Type 3 throttles, zero speed corresponds to 0Ω and full speed corresponds to 5kΩ.

If the Pot Low input current falls below 0.1 mA, a throttle fault is generated and the controller shuts down. NOTE: The Pot Low pin (Pin 7) must not be tied to ground. WIRING: Emergency Reverse Check An optional wire connected directly to the emergency reverse (belly button) switch provides for broken wire detection when that option is enabled at the factory. The emergency reverse check output wire periodically pulses the emergency reverse circuit to check for continuity. If there is no continuity in the circuit, the controller shuts down and a fault code is indicated. This feature must be enabled at Curtis PMC. If the option is selected and the check wire is not connected, the vehicle will not operate. If the option is not selected and the check wire is connected, no harm will occur—but continuity will not be checked. The emergency reverse check output wire is connected to Pin 10, as shown by the dashed lines in the two basic wiring diagrams (Figures 3 and 4). Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 22 15 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller SWITCHES AND OTHER HARDWARE Keyswitch The vehicle should have a master on/off switch to turn the system off when not in use. The keyswitch provides logic power for the 1207 controller, coil current for the contactors, and shunt current (in compound motor applications). The keyswitch must be capable of carrying these currents. Main Contactor A main contactor allows the 1207 controller to be disconnected from the battery. In 24V applications a main contactor is optional, but in 36V applications a main contactor is required. A heavy-duty single-pole, single-throw (SPST) contactor with silver-alloy contacts is recommended, such as an Albright SW80 or SW180 (available from Curtis). After initial closing of the contacts, inrush currents flow as the controller’s internal filter capacitors are charged. A 250Ω, 5W resistor (such as Curtis PMC p/n MP-2) can be used across the contactor to precharge the capacitors and reduce the inrush current through the contacts. Forward/Reverse Contactors For forward/reverse, a paired single-pole, double-throw (2×SPDT) contactor is recommended, such as an Albright DC88 or DC182 (available from Curtis). With 4-terminal split field motors, two single-pole, single-throw (SPST) contactors are typically used. The coil voltage should match the vehicle voltage. The maximum allowed coil current is 1 ampere. Forward/Reverse, Emergency Reverse, and Mode Switches The direction input switches can be any type of single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch capable of switching the battery voltage at 10 mA. Circuitry Protection Devices For reverse polarity protection, a diode should be added to the control circuit. It must be sized appropriately for the maximum contactor coil currents (and shunt current, in compound motor applications). To protect the control wiring from accidental shorts, a low current fuse (appropriate for the maximum current draw) should be connected in series with the battery feed. These devices are both shown in the wiring diagrams. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 16 23 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller 1207 INSTALLATION CHECKOUT Before operating the vehicle, carefully complete the following checkout procedure. If you find a problem during the checkout, refer to the diagnostics and troubleshooting section (Section 5) for further information. The installation checkout can be conducted with or without the handheld programmer. The checkout procedure is easier with a programmer. Otherwise, observe the Status LED for codes. ☞ Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel(s) off the ground before beginning these tests. CAUTION Turn the keyswitch off and make sure that the brake is applied (brake switch open), the throttle is in neutral, and the forward/reverse switches are open. Do not stand, or allow anyone else to stand, directly in front of or behind the vehicle during the tests. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 24 1. Slide open the cover on the top of the controller. The cover is not removable; be careful not to force it. If a programmer is available, connect it to the programmer connector. 2. Turn the keyswitch on. The programmer should “power up” with an initial display, and the controller’s Status LED should begin steadily blinking a single flash. If neither happens, check for continuity in the keyswitch circuit and controller ground. 3. If you are using a programmer, put it into the diagnostic mode by pressing the DIAGNOSTICS key. The display should indicate “No Faults Found.” Release the brake (close the brake switch). To do this on a walkie, pull the tiller down to the operating position. The LED should continue blinking a single flash and the programmer should continue to indicate no faults. If there is a problem, the LED will flash a diagnostic code and the programmer will display a diagnostic message. If you are conducting the checkout without a programmer, look up the LED diagnostic code in Section 5: Diagnostics and Troubleshooting. When the problem has been corrected, it may be necessary to cycle the brake in order to clear the fault code. 17 2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207 Controller 4. With the brake released, select a direction and operate the throttle. The motor should begin to turn in the selected direction. If it does not, verify the wiring to the forward/reverse switches, forward/reverse contactors, and motor. The motor should run proportionally faster with increasing throttle. If not, refer to Section 5. 5. If you are using a programmer, put it into the test mode by pressing the TEST key. Scroll down to observe the status of the forward, reverse, brake, emergency reverse, and mode switches. Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct state on the programmer. 6. Specific material handling directives, such as prEN1175, require testing of the controller’s fault detection circuitry. This can be done as follows: a) Disconnect the battery and make sure the keyswitch is off. b) Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10-amp fuse and alligator clips, connect the controller’s M- and B- terminals. c) Turn the keyswitch on, release the brake, and apply the throttle. The motor should not operate, and the direction contactors should not pull in. d) Leave the keyswitch on and remove the inline fuse wire. The vehicle status should continue to remain off. e) Cycle the keyswitch off and on, release the brake, and apply the throttle. The vehicle should now operate normally. 7. Take the vehicle off the blocks and drive it in a clear area. It should have smooth acceleration and good top speed. 8. Test the plug braking of the vehicle. Verify that the plug braking option is as desired (variable or fixed). 9. Verify that all options, such as high pedal disable (HPD), static return to off (SRO), and anti-tiedown, are as desired. 10. Check to see whether the emergency reverse (belly button) feature is working correctly. If you have the optional emergency reverse check wiring, verify that the circuit is operational by momentarily disconnecting one of the emergency reverse wires. The vehicle should be disabled and a fault indicated. 11. When you have completed the checkout procedure, be sure to close the protective sliding cover.

Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 32 25 2A — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207A Controller WIRING: Throttle Wiring for various throttles is described below. They are characterized as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 throttles in the programming menu of the handheld programmer. NOTE: In the text, throttles are identified by their nominal range and not by their actual active range. If the throttle you are planning to use is not covered, please contact the Curtis office nearest you. 5kΩ–0 Throttle (“Type 1”) The 5kΩ–0 throttle (called a “Type 1” throttle in the programming menu of the handheld programmer) is a 2-wire resistive throttle that connects between the Fig. 5 A Wiring for 5kΩ–0 throttle (“Type 1”). 5kΩ POT 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 FASTER PIN KEY (1207A) Pin 8 Pin 7 5kΩ–0 Pot Low 5kΩ–0/0–5kΩ pin (Pin 8) and the Pot Low pin (Pin 7), as shown in Figure 5A. It doesn’t matter which wire goes on which pin. Zero speed corresponds to 5kΩ and full speed corresponds to 0Ω. In addition to accommodating the basic 5kΩ–0 throttle, the Type 1 throttle is the easiest with which to implement a wigwag-style throttle. Using a 20kΩ potentiometer wired as shown in Figure 6A, the pot wiper can be set such that the controller has 5kΩ between Pins 7 and 8 when the throttle is in the neutral position (i.e., at the center of the pot). The throttle mechanism can then be designed such that rotating it either forward or back decreases the resistance Fig. 6 A Wiring for 20kΩ potentiometer used as a wigwag-style throttle (“Type 1”). 20 kΩ POT FASTER FASTER 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 PIN KEY (1207A) Pin 8 Pin 7 Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 5kΩ–0 Pot Low 26 33 2A — INSTALLATION & WIRING: 1207A Controller between Pins 7 and 8, which increases the controller output.

Press the appropriate CHANGE VALUE key (“up” or “down”) until the desired number is reached. The parameter is now set at the desired value. All programming occurs in real time. That is, the parameters can be changed while the vehicle is in operation. The upper and lower limits of parameters are set at the factory. Some parameters have dependencies on other parameters. When the programmer is being used to adjust a parameter and a limit is reached, the display will stop changing. To see why the display has stopped changing, press the MORE INFO key. If the limit is related to another parameter, that information will be displayed; changing the value of the related parameter may allow the original parameter to be adjusted further. Otherwise, the display simply says “Max Limit” or “Min Limit.” Use of the programmer is described more fully in Section 6. 1207 single-mode controllers only If a programmer is connected when a parameter is adjusted mechanically (see next page), the effect of the change can be seen in the programmer display. To adjust one of these five parameters with the programmer, its potentiometer must be set to the “OFF” position on the adjustment panel. If you attempt to use the programmer to adjust a parameter whose potentiometer is not set to the “OFF” position, its value will not change. You will also note that the LEDs in the corners of both the CHANGE VALUE keys do not light up— another indication the parameter cannot be adjusted electronically. If you press the MORE INFO key, the programmer will display the following message: “Protected by controller, can’t program.” Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 40 33 3 — ADJUSTMENT OF PARAMETERS MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT [1207 single-mode controllers only] Five screwdriver-adjustable potentiometers (“trimpots”) allow mechanical adjustment of the main current limit, plug current limit, acceleration rate, maximum creep speed, and maximum speed (labeled “LOW”). The five trimpots are accessed through holes on the adjustment panel, located under the sliding protective cover on top of the controller. Adjustments are made with a small insulated screwdriver. 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 0 3 0 3 0 3 0 3 0 3 OFF 4 OFF 4 OFF 4 OFF 4 OFF 4 MAIN PLUG CURRENT L I M I T ACCEL. CREEP L O W S TAT U S SPEED L I M I T The trimpot’s relative position indicates the approximate value over the allowable range. For example: if the main current limit range is 20–250 amps, position “0” corresponds to 20 amps, and position “4” to 250 amps. Setting the pot halfway (at position “2”) corresponds to approximately 135 amps. If you wish to adjust any of these parameters electronically, using the programmer, its trimpot must be set to “OFF.” NOTE: On 1207 controllers with the MultiMode™ feature, the trimpots are disabled at the factory. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 34 41 4 — MAINTENANCE 4 MAINTENANCE There are no user-serviceable parts inside Curtis PMC 1207 and 1207A controllers. No attempt should be made to open the controller. Opening the controller may damage it and will void the warranty. However, it is recommended that the controller exterior be cleaned periodically, and—if a handheld programmer is available—this periodic cleaning provides a good opportunity to check the controller’s diagnostic history file. It is also recommended that the controller’s fault detection circuitry be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced. ☞ The 1207/1207A controller is inherently a high power device. When working around any battery powered vehicle, proper safety precautions should be taken. These include, but are not limited to: proper training, wearing eye protection, avoiding loose clothing and jewelry, and using insulated wrenches. CAUTION CLEANING Although the 1207/1207A controller requires virtually no maintenance if properly installed, the following minor maintenance is recommended in certain applications. 1. Remove power by disconnecting the battery. 2. Discharge the capacitors in the controller by connecting a load (such as a contactor coil or a horn) across the controller’s B+ and B- terminals. 3. Remove and dirt or corrosion from the bus bar area. The controller should be wiped clean with a moist rag. Allow it to dry before reconnecting the battery. 4. Make sure the connections to the bus bars are tight. Use two well insulated wrenches for this task in order to avoid stressing the bus bars. DIAGNOSTIC HISTORY The handheld programmer can be used to access the controller’s diagnostic history file. Connect the programmer, press the MORE INFO key, and then—while Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 42 35 4 — MAINTENANCE continuing to hold the MORE INFO key—press the DIAGNOSTICS key. The programmer will read out all the faults that the controller has experienced since the last time the diagnostic history file was cleared. The faults may be intermittent faults, faults caused by loose wires, or faults caused by operator errors. Faults such as contactor faults may be the result of loose wires; contactor wiring should be carefully checked out. Faults such as HPD or overtemperature may be caused by operator habits or by overloading. After a problem has been diagnosed and corrected, clearing the diagnostic history file is advisable. This allows the controller to accumulate a new file of faults. By checking the new diagnostic history file at a later date, you can readily determine whether the problem was indeed completely fixed. To clear the diagnostic history file, go to the Special Program Menu (by pressing and holding the MORE INFO key, and then pressing the PROGRAM key), scroll through the menu until “Clear Diagnostic History” is the top line in the display, and then press MORE INFO again. The programmer will prompt you to acknowledge or cancel. See Section 6 of this manual for more detail on programmer operation. TESTING THE FAULT DETECTION CIRCUITRY Specific material handling directives, such as prEN1175, require periodic testing of the controller’s fault detection circuitry. It is recommended that each time the vehicle is serviced, the M- fault detection circuitry be checked as follows: 1. Put the vehicle up on blocks to get the drive wheel(s) off the ground, disconnect the battery, and make sure the keyswitch is off. 2. Using an inline fuse holder fitted with a 10-amp fuse and alligator clips, connect the controller’s M- and B- terminals. 3. Turn the keyswitch on, release the brake, and apply the throttle. The motor should not operate, and the direction contactors should not pull in. 4. Leave the keyswitch on and remove the inline fuse wire. The vehicle status should continue to remain off. 5. Cycle the keyswitch off and on, release the brake, and apply the throttle. The vehicle should now operate normally. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 36 43 5 — DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING 5 DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING The 1207/1207A controllers provide diagnostics information to assist technicians in troubleshooting drive system problems. The diagnostics information can be obtained in two ways: reading the appropriate display on the programmer or observing the fault codes issued by the Status LED. The Status LED is located on top of the controller. On 1207 models, it is under the sliding protective cover. LED DIAGNOSTICS During normal operation, with no faults present, the Status LED flashes a single flash at approximately 1 flash/second. If the controller detects a fault, a 2-digit fault identification code is flashed continuously until the fault is corrected. For example, code “3,2”—welded direction contactor—appears as: ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ (3,2) ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ (3,2) ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ (3,2) The codes are listed in Table 1. For suggestions about possible causes of the various faults, refer to the troubleshooting chart (Table 2).

Non-operational faults—such as a throttle fault—usually require the brake or keyswitch to be cycled after the problem is remedied. PROGRAMMER DIAGNOSTICS With a programmer, diagnostics and troubleshooting is more direct than with the LED alone. The programmer presents complete diagnostic information in plain language—no codes to decipher. Faults are displayed in the Diagnostic Menu, and the status of the controller inputs/outputs is displayed in the Test Menu. The following 4-step process is generally used for diagnosing and troubleshooting an inoperative vehicle: (1) visually inspect the vehicle for obvious problems; (2) diagnose the problem, using the programmer; (3) test the circuitry with the programmer; and (4) correct the problem. Repeat the last three steps as necessary until the vehicle is operational. Example: A vehicle that does not operate in “forward” is brought in for repair. 1: Examine the vehicle and its wiring for any obvious problems, such as broken wires or loose connections. STEP 2: Connect the programmer, put it in diagnostic mode, and read the displayed fault information. In this example, the display shows “No Faults Present,” indicating that the controller has not detected anything out of the norm. STEP 3: Put the programmer in test mode, and observe the status of the inputs and outputs in the forward direction. In this example, the display shows that the forward switch did not close when “forward” was selected, which means the problem is either in the forward switch or the switch wiring. STEP 4: Check or replace the forward switch and wiring and repeat the test. If the programmer shows the forward switch closing and the vehicle now drives normally, the problem has been corrected. STEP Refer to the troubleshooting chart (Table 2) for suggestions covering a wide range of possible faults.

The programmer is powered by the host controller, via an RJ11 modular connector located in the adjustment panel on top of the controller (1207 models) or via a 4-pin Molex connector on the front panel (1207A models). When the programmer is first plugged into the controller, it displays the controller’s model number, date of manufacture, and software revision code. Following this initial display, the programmer displays a prompt for further instructions. + + CURTIS PMC + + + + ++++++++++++++++++++ A 4-line LCD display is presented in this window The LED in the corner of the key lights up to identify the mode of operation PROGRAM Scroll the 4-line display (up and down) with these two keys TEST SCROLL DISPLAY MORE INFO A DIVISION OF CURTIS INSTRUMENTS INC. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual DIAGNOSTICS CHANGE VALUE Choose the Program, Test, or Diagnostics Mode with one of these three keys Change the selected item’s value (up or down) with these two keys Get more information about selected items with this key. Also, use this key in combination with other keys to put the programmer in Special modes. 40 47 6 — PROGRAMMER OPERATION The programmer is operated via an 8-key keypad. Three keys select operating modes (Program, Test, Diagnostics), two scroll the display up and down, and two change the values of selected parameters. The eighth key, the MORE INFO key, is used to display further information about selected items within any of the three standard modes. In addition, when pressed together with the PROGRAM or the DIAGNOSTICS key, the MORE INFO key selects the Special Program mode or the Special Diagnostics mode. The display window presents a 4-line LCD display. The display is visible even in bright sunlight. You can adjust the display contrast in the Special Program mode. When one of the menu keys is pressed, the LED at the corner of the key lights up, identifying the mode of programmer operation. For example, if the TEST key is pressed, the LED at the corner of the key indicates that the programmer is now in the Test mode, and the Test Menu is displayed. Four lines of a menu are displayed at a time. The item at the top of the display window is the selected item. To select an item, scroll within the menu until the desired item is positioned at the top of the display window. The selected item is always the top line. (In the Program mode, the selected item is highlighted by a flashing arrow.) To modify a parameter or obtain more information about it, it must be scrolled to the top position in the display window. To scroll up and down within a menu, use the two SCROLL DISPLAY arrow keys. The SCROLL DISPLAY arrow keys can be pressed repeatedly or be held down. When a key is held down, the scrolling speed increases the longer the key is held. SCROLL DISPLAY A small scroll bar at the left of the display window provides a rough indication of the position of the four displayed items within the entire menu. That is, when the bar is at the top of the window, the top of the menu is displayed. As you scroll through the menu, the bar moves downward. When the bar is at the very bottom of the window, you have reached the end of the menu. This sample display is from the Program Menu: scroll bar Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 48 M1 M1 M1 M1 MA I N C / L P L UG C / L RAMP C / L ACCE L RA T E >250 70 250 1.0 selected item 41 6 — PROGRAMMER OPERATION CHANGE VALUE The two CHANGE VALUE arrow keys are used to increase or decrease the value of a selected menu item. Like the SCROLL DISPLAY arrow keys, the CHANGE VALUE arrow keys can be pressed repeatedly or be held down. The longer a key is held, the faster the parameter changes. This allows rapid changing of any parameter. An LED on each CHANGE VALUE arrow key indicates whether the key is active and whether change is permissable. When the value of a parameter is being increased, the LED on the “up” CHANGE VALUE key is on until you reach the maximum value for that parameter. When the LED goes off, you cannot increase the value. The MORE INFO key has three functions: (1) to display more information about the selected item, (2) to access the Special Program and Special Diagnostics modes (when used together with the PROGRAM and DIAGNOSTICS keys), and (3) to initiate certain commands (such as the Self Test). “More information” is available in all of the programmer operating modes. After using the MORE INFO key to display additional information about the selected item, press the MORE INFO key again to return to the original list. OPERATING MODES: PROGRAM, TEST, DIAGNOSTICS, SPECIAL PROGRAM, SPECIAL DIAGNOSTICS PROGRAM In the Program mode, accessed by pressing the PROGRAM key, all the adjustable parameters and features of the controller are displayed (four at a time), along with their present settings. The setting of the selected item—the item at the top of the display, with the flashing arrow—can be changed, using the two CHANGE VALUE keys. The LEDs on these keys indicate whether there is still room for change. That is, when the upper limit of a parameter’s range is reached, the LED on the “up” key no longer lights up, indicating that the present value cannot be increased; when the lower limit is reached, the LED on the “down” key no longer lights up. The MORE INFO key, when used in the Program mode, displays a bar graph along with the minimum and maximum values possible for the selected parameter. Parameters can be changed either from the main Program Menu or after the MORE INFO key has been pressed and the additional information is being displayed (see example below). selected parameter bar graph minimum value MODE 1 ACCE L ERA T I ON RA T E , SECS MIN 0 . 2 set value 1.3 MAX 3 . 0 maximum value units Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 42 49 6 — PROGRAMMER OPERATION Some parameters on some controllers have dependencies on other parameters. This means that the available settings for one parameter may be dependent on the limits of another parameter. If you attempt to set a parameter (A) outside the limits imposed by another parameter (B), a message will be displayed indicating that parameter A is dependent on parameter B. The Program Menu is presented at the end of this section. NOTE: Some items may not be available on all models. TEST DIAGNOSTICS * MORE INFO PROGRAM In the Test mode, accessed by pressing the TEST key, real-time information is displayed about the status of the inputs, outputs, and controller temperature. For example, when the status of the forward switch is displayed, it should read “On/Off/On/Off/On/Off” as the switch is repeatedly turned on and off. In the Test mode, the item of interest does not need to be the top item on the list; it only needs to be among the four items visible in the window. The Test mode is useful for checking out the operation of the controller during initial installation, and also for troubleshooting should problems occur. The MORE INFO key, when used in the Test mode, causes additional information to be displayed about the selected item (top line in the window). The Test Menu is presented at the end of this section. NOTE: Some items may not be available on all models. In the Diagnostics mode, accessed by pressing the DIAGNOSTICS key, currently active faults detected by the controller are displayed. The MORE INFO key, when used in the Diagnostics mode, causes additional information to be displayed about the selected item. A list of the abbreviations used in the Diagnostics display is included at the end of this section. The Special Program mode allows you to perform a variety of tasks, most of which are self-explanatory. Through the Special Program Menu, you can revert to earlier settings, save controller settings into the programmer memory, load the controller settings from the programmer into a controller, clear the controller’s diagnostic history, adjust the contrast of the programmer’s LCD display, select the language to be displayed by the programmer, and display basic information (model number, etc.) about the controller and the programmer. To access the Special Program mode, first press the MORE INFO key. Then, while continuing to hold the MORE INFO key, press the PROGRAM key. The LED on the PROGRAM key will light, just as when the programmer is in Program mode. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 50 43 6 — PROGRAMMER OPERATION To distinguish between the Program and Special Program modes, look at the menu items in the display. CONTROLLER CLONING Two of the Special Program Menu items—“Save Controller Settings in Programmer” and “Load Programmer Settings into Controller”—allow you to “clone” controllers. To do this, simply program one controller to the desired settings, save these settings in the programmer, and then load them into other similar (same model number) controllers, thus creating a family of controllers with identical settings. The MORE INFO key is used initially to access the Special Program mode, and once you are within the Special Program mode, it is used to perform the desired tasks. To adjust the contrast in the display window, for example, select “Contrast Adjustment” by scrolling until this item is at the top of the screen, and then press MORE INFO to find out how to make the adjustment. The Special Program Menu is presented at the end of this section. * MORE INFO DIAGNOSTICS In the Special Diagnostics mode, the controller’s diagnostic history file is displayed. This file includes a list of all faults observed and recorded by the controller since the history was last cleared. (NOTE: The maximum and minimum temperatures recorded by the controller are included in the Test Menu.) Each fault is listed in the diagnostic history file only once, regardless of the number of times it occurred. To access Special Diagnostics, first press the MORE INFO key. Then, while continuing to hold the MORE INFO key, press the DIAGNOSTICS key. The LED on the DIAGNOSTICS key will light, just as when the programmer is in Diagnostics mode. The MORE INFO key, when used within the Special Diagnostics mode, causes additional information to be displayed about the selected item. To clear the diagnostic history file, put the programmer into the Special Program mode, select “Clear Diagnostic History,” and press the MORE INFO key for instructions. Clearing the diagnostic history file also resets the maximum/ minimum temperatures in the Test Menu. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 44 51 6 — PROGRAMMER OPERATION PEACE-OF-MIND PROGRAMMING Each time the programmer is connected to the controller, it acquires all the controller’s parameters and stores them in its temporary memory. You can revert back to these original settings at any time during a programming session via the Special Program Menu. Select “Reset All Settings” by scrolling it to the top of the display window, press the MORE INFO key, and follow the instructions displayed. Any inadvertent changing of parameters can be “undone” using this procedure— even if you can’t remember what the previous settings were—as long as the programmer has not been unplugged and power has not been removed from the controller. Programmer Self Test You can test the programmer by displaying two special test screens. Press the MORE INFO key while the programmer is powering up. During the Self Test, you can toggle between the two test screens by pressing the SCROLL DISPLAY keys. The first screen turns on every LCD element, and the second screen displays all the characters used in the various menus. As part of the Self Test, you can also test the keys be pressing each one and observing whether its corner LED lights up. To exit the Self Test, unplug the programmer or turn off the controller, and then repower it without holding the MORE INFO key. ⇐ SCROLL DISPLAY ⇒ Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 52 !

The shape of the acceleration curve is controlled by the dynamic throttle response, which is linear. If you have a MultiMode™ controller, the acceleration rates in Mode 1 and in Mode 2 are independently adjustable via the handheld programmer. If you have a 1207 controller with the MultiMode™ feature disabled (i.e., a singlemode controller), you can adjust the acceleration rate mechanically via the appropriate trimpot located on top of the controller. Anti-tiedown Before enabling Mode 1 operation, the anti-tiedown function checks that the mode selection switch has been released after the last cycling of the brake switch. This feature discourages operators from taping or otherwise “tying down” the mode switch. If Mode 1 is already selected before the brake is released, the controller remains in Mode 2 until the mode switch is released and pressed again. Arcless contactor switching The controller output duty factor is quickly reduced to zero any time a direction is de-selected, so that the controller current will be reduced to zero before the direction contactor drops out. BB (= Belly Button; see Emergency reverse) Brake The brake must be released (brake input “high”) for the controller to operate. This is a safety interlock used on most material handling vehicles. Cycling the brake or KSI clears most faults and enables operation. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 56 A-1 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY Contactor drivers and circuits These controllers can accommodate up to four external contactors: forward, reverse, main, and shunt. Some vehicles may have no main contactor, or the main contactor may be wired directly to the KSI or brake signal, bypassing the controller. Various protections provided for the contactor drivers ensure that the contactors operate correctly; see Fault detection. The shunt winding of a compound motor can be wired directly to the shunt driver, provided that the maximum current does not exceed the driver’s current rating. Creep speed at first throttle Creep speed is activated when a direction is first selected. The output maintains creep speed until the throttle is rotated out of the throttle deadband (typically 10% of throttle). Creep speed is adjustable from 0 to 25% of the controller duty factor; the adjustment can be made mechanically (via the appropriate trimpot on top of the 1207 controller) or electronically (via the handheld programmer). Current limiting Curtis PMC controllers limit the motor current to a preset maximum. This feature protects the controller from damage that might result if the current were limited only by motor demand. PWM output to the power section is reduced smoothly until the motor current falls below the set limit level. In addition to protecting the controller, the current limit feature also protects the rest of the system. By eliminating high current surges during vehicle acceleration, stress on the motor and batteries is reduced and their efficiency enhanced. Similarly, there is less wear and tear on the vehicle drivetrain, as well as on the ground on which the vehicle rides (an important consideration with golf courses and tennis courts, for example). If you have a MultiMode™ controller, the main current limit, plug current limit, and ramp start current limit in Mode 1 and in Mode 2 are independently adjustable via the handheld programmer. If you have a 1207 controller with the MultiMode™ feature disabled (i.e., a single-mode controller), you can adjust the main and plug current limits mechanically via the appropriate trimpots located on top of the controller. In addition, the emergency reverse current limit can be set via the handheld programmer. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual A-2 57 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY Current multiplication During acceleration and during reduced speed operation, the Curtis PMC controller allows more current to flow into the motor than flows out of the battery. The controller acts like a dc transformer, taking in low current and high voltage (the full battery voltage) and putting out high current and low voltage. The battery needs to supply only a fraction of the current that would be required by a conventional controller (in which the battery current and motor current are always equal). The current multiplication feature gives vehicles using Curtis PMC controllers dramatically greater driving range per battery charge. Deceleration rate The deceleration rate is the time required for the controller to decrease from 100% duty factor to zero. The deceleration rate is fixed, and cannot be adjusted. The shape of the deceleration curve is controlled by the dynamic throttle response, which is linear. Emergency reverse Emergency reverse is activated when the brake is released, KSI is activated, and the emergency reverse switch (the BB, or “belly button” switch) is pressed. After the BB switch is released, normal controller operation is not resumed until neutral (no direction) is selected or until the brake is cycled (brake, then brake release). However, repeatedly pressing the BB switch will reactivate the emergency reverse function each time. Because emergency reverse immediately powers the reverse contactor, some arcing may occur. Fault detection An internal microcontroller automatically maintains surveillance over the functioning of the controller. When a fault is detected, the appropriate fault code is signalled via the LED, externally visible on top of the controller. The diagnostic codes flashed by the LED are listed in Section 5, Troubleshooting. If the fault is critical, the controller is disabled. More typically, the fault is a remediable condition and temporary—for example, an undervoltage fault is cleared when the condition is removed. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 58 A-3 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY The automatic fault detection system includes: contactor coil open / shorted driver (F/R and shunt contactors) contactor driver overcurrent / contactor coil short contactor welded emergency reverse circuit check M- output fault memory checks upon start-up overvoltage cutoff power supply out of range (internal) throttle fault undervoltage cutback watchdog (external and internal) watchdog (internal) Fault recording Fault events are recorded in the controller’s memory. Multiple occurrences of the same fault are recorded as one occurrence. The fault event list can be loaded into the programmer for readout. The Special Diagnostics mode provides access to the controller’s diagnostic history file—the entire fault event list created since the diagnostic history file was last cleared. The Diagnostics mode, on the other hand, provides information about only the currently active faults. Fault recovery (including recovery from disable) Almost all faults require a cycling of the KSI or brake input to reset the controller and enable operation. The only exceptions are these: Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual FAULT RECOVERY anti-tiedown contactor overcurrent emergency reverse HPD overvoltage SRO thermal cutback throttle fault undervoltage release and re-select Mode 1 when condition clears BB re-applied or brake cycled lower throttle to below HPD threshold when battery voltage drops below overvoltage when proper sequence is followed when temperature comes within range clears when condition gone when battery voltage rises above undervoltage A-4 59 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY High-pedal-disable (HPD) The HPD feature prevents the vehicle from being started while the throttle is applied. The controller can be programmed to have HPD based on either brake input or KSI. Brake-type HPD To start the vehicle, the controller must receive a brake input (brake released) before receiving a throttle input. Controller operation will be disabled immediately if pedal demand (throttle input) is greater than 25% duty factor at the time the brake is released (brake input “high”). Normal controller operation is regained by reducing the throttle demand to less than 25%. Sequencing delay, which can be set with the handheld programmer, provides a variable delay before disabling the controller. If the brake is applied while the throttle is above the HPD threshold (25%), HPD is not activated if the brake is then released before the delay time elapses. KSI-type HPD The HPD feature can be activated by KSI input instead of brake input, if preferred. To start the vehicle, the controller must receive a KSI input before receiving a throttle input. KSI KSI (Key Switch Input) provides power to the logic board, and initializes and starts diagnostics. In combination with the brake input, KSI enables all logic functions. Some vehicles may have no keyswitch (KSI simply tied to B+) or may have the key permanently turned on. LED A Status LED located on top of the controller flashes a fault identification code if a fault is detected by the controller. The fault codes are listed in Table 1. The code will continue to flash until the fault condition has been cleared during active fault detection. This will typically happen after cycling KSI for power-up fault conditions, and cycling the brake for faults detected during operation. NOTE: In 1207 models, the Status LED is on the adjustment panel under the sliding protective cover. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 60 A-5 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY MOSFET A MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) is a type of transistor characterized by its fast switching speeds and very low losses. MultiMode ™ The MultiMode™ feature of these controllers allows the vehicle to be operated with two distinct sets of characteristics. The two modes can be programmed to be suitable for operation under different conditions, such as slow precise maneuvering in Mode 2 and faster, long distance travel in Mode 1. The following parameters can be set independently in the two modes: — main current limit — plug current limit — ramp start current limit — acceleration rate — maximum speed The operating mode is selected by means of the mode selection switch. If Mode 1 is not selected, the controller operates by default in Mode 2. When the controller returns to Mode 2 from Mode 1, it automatically changes the main current limit, the plug current limit, the ramp start current limit, the acceleration rate, and the maximum speed to their Mode 2 values. If the anti-tiedown feature is active, Mode 1 must be re-selected each time the brake is released. Neutral brake The optional neutral brake feature provides automatic plug braking in neutral. If this option is not selected, the vehicle is free to coast in neutral. The neutral brake plug current limit is programmable. Overtemperature At overtemperature (from 85°C to 95°C), the drive current limit is linearly decreased from full set current down to zero. (Plug current, however, is not reduced—in order to provide full vehicle braking under all thermal conditions.) The operating PWM frequency is shifted to 1.5 kHz when the controller is operating in the overtemperature range. Overvoltage protection Overvoltage resets the microprocessor, inhibits PWM, and opens the contactors, thereby shutting down the controller. Overvoltage can result during battery charging or from an improperly wired controller. Controller operation resumes Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual A-6 61 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY when the voltage is brought within the acceptable range. The cutoff voltage and re-enable voltage are percentages of the battery voltage, and are set at the factory. Plug braking Plug braking takes place when a series motor is driven electrically in a direction opposite from the direction it is turning. The 1207/1207A controls the field current to obtain smooth and controlled plug braking torque. During plug braking, the maximum current limit is automatically changed to the plug current limit, and the PWM frequency is changed to 1.5 kHz. NOTE: Plug current limit on the 1207/1207A controls the field current. The armature current in plug mode will be higher than the field current. There are two types of plug braking control — fixed and variable. The fixed plug current limit is set to a fixed level. The variable plug current limit varies the current limit to correspond to the throttle position. If you have a MultiMode™ controller, the plug current limits in Mode 1 and in Mode 2 are independently adjustable via the handheld programmer. If you have a 1207 controller with the MultiMode™ feature disabled (i.e., a singlemode controller), you can adjust the plug current limit mechanically via the appropriate trimpot located on top of the controller. PWM Pulse width modulation (PWM), also called “chopping,” is a technique that switches battery voltage to the motor on and off very quickly, thereby controlling the speed of the motor. Curtis PMC 1200 series controllers use high frequency PWM—15 kHz—which permits silent, efficient operation. Quick-start Upon receiving a quick throttle demand from neutral, the controller will exceed normal acceleration momentarily in order to overcome inertia. The “quick-start” algorithm is applied each time the vehicle passes through neutral and is not in plug mode. If the vehicle is in plug, the quick-start function is disabled, allowing normal plug braking to occur. The quick-start throttle factor is adjustable via the handheld programmer. Ramp shape (throttle map) “Ramp shape” is a programmable parameter that determines the static throttle map of the 1207/1207A controller. Eleven preprogrammed ramp shapes are available, in 5% steps between 20% and 70% (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 62 A-7 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY 65, and 70%). The ramp shape number refers to the PWM output at half throttle, as a percentage of its full range. For example, if maximum speed is set at 100% and creep speed is set at 0, a ramp shape of 50% will give 50% output at half throttle. The 50% ramp shape corresponds to a linear response. The six “even number” ramp shapes for maximum and creep speeds set at 100% and 0 are shown in Figure A-1. Fig. A-1 Ramp shape (throttle map) for controller with maximum speed set at 100% and creep speed set at 0. 100 RAMP SHAPE MAXIMUM SPEED (100%) 90 70% 60% 80 50% 40% PWM (percent) 70 30% 60 20% 50 40 30 CREEP SPEED (0) 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 THROTTLE (percent) Changing either the maximum speed setting or the creep speed setting changes the output range of the controller. Ramp shape output is always a percentage of that range. Ramp shapes with the creep speed setting raised to 10% are shown in Figure A-2. Fig. A-2 Ramp shape (throttle map) for controller with maximum speed set at 100% and creep speed set at 10%. 100 RAMP SHAPE MAXIMUM SPEED (100%) 90 70% 60% 80 50% 40% PWM (percent) 70 30% 60 20% 50 40 30 20 10 CREEP SPEED (10%) 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 THROTTLE (percent) Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual A-8 63 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY In Figure A-3, the creep speed is kept at 10% and the maximum speed setting dropped to 60%. Fig. A-3 Ramp shape (throttle map) for controller with maximum speed set at 60% and creep speed set at 10%. 100 RAMP SHAPE 90 70% 60% 80 50% MAXIMUM SPEED (60%) PWM (percent) 70 40% 30% 60 20% 50 CREEP SPEED (10%) 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 THROTTLE (percent) In all cases, the ramp shape number is the PWM output at half throttle, as a percentage of its full range. So, for example, in Figure A-3, a 50% ramp shape gives 35% PWM output at half throttle (halfway between 10% and 60%). A 30% ramp shape gives 25% PWM at half throttle (30% of the range {which is 50%, from 10% to 60%}, starting at 10% output, or {[.30 x 50%] + 10%} = 25%). Ramp start The ramp start feature allows the vehicle to be started with a higher plug current limit to prevent rolling downhill. Ramp start increases the plug current limit for the selected direction only. When the opposite direction is selected, ramp start will be canceled and a 3-step sequence must be followed to re-activate it: STEP 1. select a direction for more than 1 second, STEP 2. return to neutral, and STEP 3. re-select the same direction. Once the vehicle is operating in ramp start mode, it will continue to do so until the opposite direction is selected for more than one second. When the brake is first released, the ramp start current limit level will be obtained when either direction is selected in plug braking mode. In ramp start mode, either direction selected will allow the ramp start current limit level. This condition remains until the other direction is selected for more than one second. The new direction then becomes the decision direction, and the 3-step ramp start sequence is required to regain the ramp start current limit level in plug. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 64 A-9 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY The ramp start current limit is adjustable via the handheld programmer. The Mode 1 and Mode 2 ramp start current limits can be set independently. Reset Almost all faults require a cycling of the KSI or brake input to reset the controller and enable operation; see Fault recovery for exceptions. Sequencing delay Sequencing delay allows the brake to be cycled within a set time (the sequencing delay), in order to prevent inadvertent activation of HPD or SRO. This feature is useful in applications where the brake switch may bounce or be momentarily cycled during operation. The delay can be set with the handheld programmer from 0 to 3 seconds, where 0 corresponds to no delay. Shunt field control The shunt field of a compound motor can be directly controlled by using the shunt winding driver (if the current requirement meets the contactor driver specifications). The shunt is activated while a direction is selected, as long as the controller is not in plug braking mode. A programmable delay is available for the shunt drive. This delays the shunt turn-on until some time after the reversing contactors have shuttled. The delay can be set with the handheld programmer from 0 to 0.5 seconds, where 0 corresponds to no delay. Smooth, stepless operation Like all Curtis PMC 1200 Series controllers, the 1207 and 1207A models allow superior operator control of the vehicle’s drive motor speed. The amount of current delivered to the motor is set by varying the “on” time (duty cycle) of the controller’s power MOSFET transistors. This technique—pulse width modulation (PWM)—permits silent, stepless operation. Speed settings The maximum speed setting defines the upper-limit speed as a percentage of PWM output at full throttle. If you have a MultiMode™ controller, the maximum speed settings in Mode 1 and in Mode 2 are independently adjustable via the handheld programmer. If you have a 1207 controller with the MultiMode™ Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual A-10 65 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY feature disabled (i.e., a single-mode controller), you can adjust the maximum speed mechanically via the trimpot labeled “LOW” on top of the controller. The maximum creep speed setting is also adjustable via these two methods; see Creep speed. The maximum emergency reverse speed is adjustable only via the programmer. Static-return-to-off (SRO) The SRO feature prevents the vehicle from being started when “in gear.” SRO checks the sequencing of brake input—or of KSI and brake input—relative to a direction input. The brake input must come on before a direction is selected. If a direction is selected before or simultaneously (within 50 msec) with the brake input, the controller is disabled. There are three types of SRO: SRO relative to brake input alone (Type “1” in the programming menu); SRO relative to both KSI and brake input (Type “2”); and SRO relative to KSI, brake, and forward inputs (Type “3”). The handheld programmer can be used to set the controller to operate with any of these types of SRO, or with no SRO (SRO Type “0”). If your controller is programmed so that both KSI and brake input are required (SRO Type “2”), the following sequence must be followed to enable the controller: STEP 1, KSI on; STEP 2, brake released (brake input “high”); and STEP 3, direction selected. The interval between steps 1 and 2 is the same as between steps 2 and 3; that is, KSI input must precede brake input by at least 50 msec. Once the controller is operational, turning off either KSI or the brake causes the controller to turn off; re-enabling the controller requires the 3-step sequence. Similarly, if your controller is programmed so that KSI, brake, and forward inputs are all required (SRO Type “3”), they must be provided in that sequence in order to enable the controller. Note, however, that operation is allowed if a reverse input precedes the brake input; this can be useful when operating a walkie on ramps. Sequencing delay, which can be set with the handheld programmer, provides a variable delay before disabling the controller. If the brake is applied while direction is selected, SRO is not activated if the brake is then released before the delay time elapses. Temperature compensation for current limits Full temperature compensation provides constant current limits throughout the normal operating range (heatsink temperatures of -25°C to +85°C). The temperature sensor is also used to calculate and display the heatsink temperature on the handheld programmer. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual 66 A-11 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY Temperature extreme current-limit cutback Undertemperature) (see Overtemperature, Temperature extreme data storage The maximum and minimum temperatures read at the heatsink at any time during powering of the controller are stored in the controller’s memory. These values (which can be accessed via the programmer’s Test Menu) are cleared each time the controller’s diagnostic history file is cleared. Throttle map The throttle map (duty factor as a function of throttle position) is adjustable, so that you can provide the proper feel for the many types of vehicles that use the 1207 controller. The throttle map parameter is called “ramp shape”; see Ramp shape for more information. Throttle response The dynamic throttle response (duty factor as a function of time) is shaped by the acceleration rate setting. Dynamic throttle response is linear. The newest throttle input is mapped to the throttle map, and the controller then automatically accelerates (or decelerates) through a straight line until the new throttle demand is obtained. Throttle types The 1207 and 1207A controllers accept a variety of throttle inputs, through various combinations of their four throttle input pins. The most commonly used throttles can all be hooked up directly: 5kΩ–0 and 0–5kΩ 2-wire rheostats, 3-wire pots, 0–5V throttles, 0–10V throttles (1207 only), and the Curtis ET-XXX electronic throttle. Throttle full range produces 0–100% duty factor at the controller output (unless limited by other conditions). Throttle fault detect is performed on the throttle input signals and virtually eliminates the possibility of runaway operation. Adjustments and settings are independent of throttle type. However, throttle fault conditions will vary by throttle type. Curtis PMC 1207/1207A Manual A-12 67 APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY Undertemperature When the controller is operating at less than -25°C, the current limit is cut back to approximately one-half of the set current. The operating PWM frequency is shifted to 1.5 kHz when the controller is operating at undertemperature. Undervoltage protection Undervoltage protection automatically disables the controller output if battery voltage is detected below the undervoltage point at start-up, or when the battery voltage is pulled below the undervoltage point by an external load. The undervoltage cutback point is set in ROM, and is not adjustable. During normal operation, the controller duty factor will be reduced when the batteries discharge down to less than the undervoltage level. If the motor current is such that the batteries are being pulled below the minimum point, the duty factor will be reduced until the battery voltage recovers to the minimum level. In this way the controller “servos” the duty factor around the point which maintains the minimum allowed battery voltage. If the voltage continues to drop below the undervoltage level to a severe undervoltage condition (due to battery drain or external load), the controller continues to behave in a predictable fashion, with its output disabled. Watchdog (external, internal) The external watchdog timer guards against a complete failure of the microprocessor, which would incapacitate the internal watchdog timer. This independent system check on the microprocessor meets the EEC’s requirement for backup fault detection. The external watchdog timer safety circuit shuts down the controller (and the microprocessor) if the software fails to generate a periodic external pulse train. This pulse train can only be created if the microprocessor is operating. If not periodically reset, the watchdog timer times out after 150 msec and turns off the controller. The external watchdog also directly disengages all contactors and directly shuts down the PWM drive to the MOSFETs. It can only be reset by cycling KSI. The internal watchdog timer must be reset periodically by correct sequential execution of the software. If not reset, the internal timer times out and the microprocessor is “warm booted.” This causes the microprocessor to shut down its outputs (thus shutting down the controller) and attempt to restart.

Model: EPT-XXXX-30 15-126-010 Troubleshooting: If the unit does not operate, check all of the wiring connections to make sure they’re both mechanically and electrically sound – specifically at the battery, and the motor. A fully-charged lead acid battery in good condition at room temperature should read 12.65 volts. At 11.9 volts it is considered to be fully discharged and in need of charging. When checking battery voltage, wait at least 1\2 hour after the charger has been turned off before checking the battery’s voltage. If the batteries aren’t being charged by the charger, check the output charger fuse. Verify fuse is good with an ohmmeter, or close visual (ohm meter best). Fuse is a 10Amp 250 Volt; GBD 10A. If it is good, check the battery’s state of charge with a voltmeter. The charger must be connected to the battery in order to read the output voltage of the battery charger. Depending on the state of charge of the batteries, the voltage should be somewhere around 27 to 28 volts dc. If it is determined the batteries are dead, and need replaced, continue with the following procedure.

Model: EPT-XXXX-30 15-126-011 Troubleshooting: If the unit does not operate, check all of the wiring connections to make sure they’re both mechanically and electrically sound – specifically at the battery, and the motor. A fully-charged lead acid battery in good condition at room temperature should read 12.65 volts. At 11.9 volts it is considered to be fully discharged and in need of charging. When checking battery voltage, wait at least 1\2 hour after the charger has been turned off before checking the battery’s voltage. If the batteries aren’t being charged by the charger, check the output charger fuse. Verify fuse is good with an ohmmeter, or close visual (ohm meter best). Fuse is a 10Amp 250 Volt; GBD 10A. If it is good, check the battery’s state of charge with a voltmeter. The charger must be connected to the battery in order to read the output voltage of the battery charger. Depending on the state of charge of the batteries, the voltage should be somewhere around 27 to 28 volts dc. If it is determined the battery charger is dead, and needs replaced, continue with the following procedure.

If there is no voltage, trace the wiring back towards the tiller head and check voltage, or continuity on each side of connectors. Continue this until bad connection is found. If the connections are all good, and there is no voltage, then the switch may be bad. Verify there is 24 volts going into the switch. If there is still no output voltage for pin 13, replace the switch. The belly switch is stuck on. Tap the orange assembly to see if the switch can be freed. If this doesn’t work, disassemble the tiller head by removing 3 screws from bottom. Slightly loosen up the two scews that hold the switch in place, this may free the switch. If it is still stuck, contact the factory for a replacement switch. 3 04/26/07 Problem: Unit will not raise; motor does not run Possible cause(s): 15-126-013 Action: Loose wire Verify 24 volts at coil when raise is pushed, if no voltage, trace wiring back to till her head looking for voltage on each side of the connectors until the bad connection is found. Bad solenoid If voltage is present at the solenoid and the unit does not raise, remove the two wires to the coil and measure the coil resistance. It should be around 19 ohms. If it’s open, or shorted replace the solenoid. Upper limit switch out of adjustment Bypass upper limit switch and see if the unit raises…DO NOT TAKE IT ALL THE WAY UP… If it does raise, verify the limit switch is normally closed and will open when activated. If the limit switch is ok, try to adjust the switch accordingly so that the units raise height is approximately 7 to 8” Unit will not raise; motor runs Lower solenoid stuck on Check to see if the lowering switch is stuck on. If it is, remove the tiller head via 3 screws on bottom and replace switch, or tap on switch to see if it can be freed up. Unit will not lower Loose wire; bad coil Verify 24 volts at coil when lower is pushed, if no voltage, trace wiring back to tiller head looking for voltage on each side of the connectors until the bad connection is found. If voltage is present at the coil and the unit does not lower, remove the connector to the coil and measure the coil resistance. It should be around 39 ohms. If it’s open, or shorted replace the coil. Unit keeps blowing fuses when the raise button is pressed VESTIL MFG. CO. Shorted solenoid for motor raise Remove the wire to the solenoid coil on the pump motor. Measure the resistance, it should be around 19 ohms. If it is nearly zero ohms replace the solenoid. 4 135 04/26/07 Problem: Unit will not reverse; belly switch does not function; forward ok VESTIL MFG. CO. 136 Possible cause(s): Broken wire, or loose connection, bad throttle assembly, bad motor controller. 15-126-013 Action: Locate Pin 12 on Molex connector at the motor controller. Try to drive the unit in reverse, there should be 24 volts at this pin. If there is voltage and the unit does not move, the motor controller may be bad, consult factory. If there is no voltage, trace the wiring back towards the tiller head and check voltage on each side of connectors. Continue this until bad connection is found. If the connections are all good, and there is no voltage coming out of throttle assembly, then the throttle assembly may be bad. Verify there is 24 volts going into the assembly, and that there is a good ground. If there is still no output voltage for pin 12, replace throttle assembly. 5 EPT-2047-30 • EPT-2547-30 POWERED PALLET TRUCK PARTS IDENTIFICATION FORK ASSEMBLY ITEM NO.
